Great service

5
This company has its benefits as you pay depending on your usage and not fixed, if you drive then you get charged if not then you don't have to pay anything, and that is a very good benefit. Reviewed on: 27th August 2021

Quick, easy and cheaper option for low mileage drivers

5
As a Construction industry manager I was a very high mileage driver then I was diagnosed with Oesophageal Cancer. With the Covid situation I was only using my car for hospital visits and supermarket runs. I was vastly overpaying for insurance! A friend recommended by miles and I purchased on line. Easy, simple and a 70% saving on my previous insurer. Reviewed on: 27th August 2021

Cheap, quick and convenient!

I've been a user of By Miles for nearly a year and it's by far the best insurance company I've been with. Set up was extremely quick and easy and the app makes it clear how much I'm being charged monthly. I think this company is revolutionary in that you only pay for what you drive. Its amazing! Reviewed on: 25th August 2021

Awesomeness overload

5
By miles is absolutely brilliant, it not only is very cheap but it also helps u keep track on whether ur in the car to much, and where u can infact walk instead of drive.... I've came up with a good exercise rule since using these that if the journey normally cost just pence, then I will walk it instead of drive it Reviewed on: 24th August 2021

Fantastic service and great customer service

The team have been fantastic and answer all my queries within a couple of hours Reviewed on: 23rd August 2021

We do not all have standard lifestyles - so why buy standard insurance?

5
In the time I've insured my car with By Miles I have endured the pandemic, a shift in my work/life balance and the onset of arthritis in my fingers. So there have been times when I didn't drive at all and times when I did many short journeys. If I had taken out a 'standard' policy which expected me to drive with the same frequency and duration as the average driver, I'd have wasted a lot of money. I recently recommended By Miles to a friend who expects to feel too unwell to drive when she undergoes chemotherapy for 6 months, but still needs her car to be fully covered 'just in case'. And my spritely old cousin, who lives in Central London, uses public transport for the 'day to day' by but will not give up her car because she likes to drive herself on holidays away and visiting friends around the country. By Miles was well-named, as it is THAT MUCH BETTER than the other car insurance policies. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2021
